Services:
Program highlights include training in independent living, social and vocational skills, counseling, and more. The program provides the structure needed for those young adults making their initial transition to independent living or for those who have been in other programs but still need full support services.
Daily living skills instruction is provided in individual and group settings. Participants live with roommates and learn to plan menus, shop and cook, do laundry, budget, and manage money.
All aspects of our program are individualized to incorporate the person's strengths and needs. The young adults, who learn best by doing, are taught independent living skills in a "hands-on" setting, in their own apartments, shared with a roommate. Vocational guidance and job placement assistance are integral parts of our program. The Job Club meets each morning, where their residents' interests and abilities are assessed and the job seeking process is begun. Their young people read classified ads, create a resume and participate in mock interviews. Their skills are improved through training programs, volunteer work, and internships and, when ready, they are assisted as they seek employment.
Evening and weekend groups stress socialization and communication, including relationships, self-advocacy, and problem solving. Residents participate in a variety of activities. Swimming, basketball, tennis, and physical fitness opportunities are available on-sight. Weekend outings include community service, hikes, movies, and trips to museums, theme parks and other locations.

Message to Parents:
If we spend our whole lives in the nest and never spread our wings, we'll never know just how high we can fly. That is why the greatest gift we can give to our young adults with learning disabilities is a gentle nudge out of the nest and into the real world.
Motivation, independence, responsibility, and decision-making skills. These skills directly contribute to their academic success, and more importantly, to their success as young adults. Young adults learn life skills in a true residential program.
